(Cress)Well Spotted

Ticked the Spotty (sounds a bit rude!) at Cresswell this afternoon. A fine specimen, feeding outside the hide, with a HG, BHGs, Knot, Redshank, Dunlin, Curlew and allegedly Greenshank (according to others, but I didn't get a blimp, more's the pity). Plenty of Teal and Mallard and a Wigeon too.

A short sea watch off Snab Point saw Eiders and Guillemots on the water and plenty of juvenile Gannets travelling north above it, with the odd adult, Kittiwakes and common gulls.
